If it's possible to have Excel output the data as CSV (comma-separated values) then you can read it with read_csv() or read_ascii(), for example, or a text-file reading script you write yourself. The big warning for CSV is that you have to be careful to avoid commas in your Excel string-type cells, because they would be interpreted as 2 cells.
